 Installing GAWK on VMS:

+Building and using GAWK under VMS POSIX:
+
+     Ignore the instructions above, although vms/gawk.hlp should still
+be made available in a help library.  Make sure that the two scripts,
+'configure' and 'mungeconf', are executable; use `chmod +x' on them if
+necessary.  Then execute the following two commands:
+ |psx> configure vms-posix
+ |psx> make awktab.c gawk
+The first command will construct files "config.h" and "Makefile" out of
+templates.  The second command will compile and link 'gawk'.  Due to
+a 'make' bug in VMS POSIX 1.0 and V1.1, the file "awktab.c" must be
+given as an explicit target or it will not be built and the final link
+step will fail.  Ignore the warning "Could not find lib m in lib list";
+it is harmless, caused by the Makefile's explicit use of -lm as a linker
+option which is not needed under VMS POSIX.  Under V1.1 (but not V1.0)
+a problem with the yacc skeleton /etc/yyparse.c will cause a compiler
+warning for awktab.c, followed by a linker warning about compilation
+warnings in the resulting object module.  These warnings can be ignored.
+
+     Another 'make' bug interferes with exercising various components
+of the test suite, but all the actual tests should execute correctly.
+(The main exception being book/wordfreq, which gives different results
+due to VMS POSIX 'sort' rather than to 'gawk'.)
